Featuring: Dami’s Top 4 Gift Ideas

Gifts for the Wild at Heart

Dami is our newest author at Inked in Gray Press! They are popping in with some cool recommendations for the fantasy lover and reader in your life! 

Sword Earrings

Shop: Le Queen Noire

I’m always keeping an eye out for good pair of “statement” earrings. I get asked about these earrings  every time I wear them! I call them my “fantasy” earrings and they’re still my favorite pair. They’re not at all heavy and I feel comfortable wearing them all day.

A pair of silver earrings shaped like swords, each with a long, pointed blade and a cross-guard hilt. The swords are suspended within a circular hoop, creating a striking and edgy design. The earrings are laid out on a marble surface, showcasing their metallic sheen. The image also includes the handle '@lequeennoire' in white script, positioned near the bottom right corner.

Aromasethesia Candles

Shop: Aromasthesia

If you’ve got the urge to splurge, then check out these luxury candles. The brains behind these medical-themed candles is Dr. Tiffany Moon, an anesthesiologist in Dallas. Quite a few of these medications – I mean, candles – are also used frequently by psychiatrists. Not only is Dr. Moon clever with her concept, but these candles smell amazing.

The label features a minimalist design with soft, pastel blue and gray tones, and the tagline 'For humans who are anxious' is written at the bottom. The candle is surrounded by a soft arrangement of flowers and green leaves, creating a serene and calming atmosphere, reflective of the candle's intended purpose to soothe anxiety.

Candles

Shop: Evil Queen

Evil Queen’s candles are vegan, hand-made, and smell amazing! I also love the clever names, like “Stolen Hoodie,” “Books & People,” and “Smut Lover.”

Find these candles and more on their website

Above the title is a small illustration of a chili pepper with the words 'Evil Queen' written above it. Below the title, the label says 'Add a little bit of... spice :)' and lists the scent notes as 'cologne, ozone & morally gray.' The candle is set against a neutral background, and a small rewards icon is visible in the lower-left corner of the image.

Reading Journal

Shop: Kunitsa Co.

If you like to keep track of the books you’ve read, then I’d recommend a reading journal. It’s fun to look back at old entries and see if my opinion about the same books has changed!

Check out the Reading Journal on their website!

A minimalist reading journal with a light green hardcover. The cover features the title 'The Reading Journal' written in small, elegant font in the center. The journal is placed on a light-colored surface, creating a simple and serene aesthetic. The design is clean and understated, making it an ideal gift for book lovers who enjoy keeping track of their reading experiences.
